May 2nd 2006: Author's note
This seemed to be the best place to tag this note.
I've attempted a couple of sequels to this now and haven't had much luck for one reason or another. I was finding it hard to get back into the characters' minds enough to warrant another set of events, so I decided to leave this as it is, and focus on some new characters instead. Apologies to anyone who started reading the second part to this story. I'm currently focusing on my new story, Edge of the World, which I hope some people might enjoy.
